Jamie Mines says he cannot praise those that have supported him enough as the fundraising appeal to help him nears the £150,000 mark.

The 33-year-old former Frome Town striker lost three limbs after he was electrocuted in a workplace accident in Swindon last December.

Jamie was present at the Special Effect Stadium this afternoon as Yeovil Town beat Frome Town 2-1 in a match organised to help his fundraising appeal, and afterwards he told Somerset Live how the support he had received from friends, family and the wider community had helped him in recent months.

He said: “To have such good people and great friends and family that have raised money, I really appreciate it.

“It’s been a life-changing experience for me, as well as the accident which was life-changing, the support I’ve had has been life-changing as well, so I’m just really grateful.

“I can’t praise them enough. It’s been everything I suppose. If I didn’t have such good people, my family, my friends, everybody, all over the world, it’s made me fight more as it was.
